Hero/Hack: Carper & The Obvious
Delaware Senator Tom Carper is a hero for the week for some comments he made eariler this week, proving that some Democrats (even besides Lierberman) are not slaves to the hivemind of moonbatism.
The Delaware Democrat spent the week after Thanksgiving with a congressional delegation on a trip to the Middle East and Iraq and returned to a growing political uproar. While President Bush assured reporters "the war is winnable," Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean claimed that the idea the war can be won is "just plain wrong."
"I wish more of my colleagues, and folks like Howard Dean, would try going to Iraq to see the situation there for themselves," Carper told The News Journal.
PolitaKid covered similar comments by Carper this week.
The hack for this week is the oft-mentioned ACLU. However, this is not because they hate Christmas! This is because they disapproved of the McCain terror bill that the White House recently agreed to.
The appropriately named Stop the ACLU has the details:
So, giving terrorists that want to kill us, or have even tried to kill us, protections is not enough for the anti-American Civil Liberties Union…they are up in arms now that we have made a deal that would give rights to someone that might be falsely accused of torture. They don’t want special rights for government officials. What a double standard we have here. According to the ACLU someone accused of terrorism should be allowed to defend themselves in Court, but someone accused of roughing them up should have no rights at all. How typical of the Anti-American Counter Liberties Union. Bush what were you thinking?
